My father's garden not only had an abundance of figs this year, but his tomato plants have produced some of the largest tomatoes I have ever seen! One of my favorite summer foods is Gazpacho made with fresh tomatoes straight from the garden.
Ingredients
4 very ripe tomatoes
1 cucumber (peeled and seeded)
1/2 small sweet onion
1/4 small bell pepper
1 garlic clove
2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 Tbsp sherry vinegar
salt to taste
Preparation
Cut a small x in the bottom of each tomato. Quickly dip them into boiling water and then remove the loosened skin. Cut the peeled tomatoes and place in a blender. Add remaining ingredients and blend. I prefer a thick gazpacho so I don't blend it too much.
